A forward‑balanced chopping and combat tool inspired by the battle daemons of Greek mythology.

The Machai takes its name from the fierce spirits of battle in Greek lore, and KA‑BAR’s interpretation lives up to that legacy. Built in Olean, NY, this full‑tang fixed blade is engineered for powerful chopping performance, aided by its forward‑weighted design and recurved edge geometry. The 6.625" 1095 Cro‑Van blade features a durable black powder coat for corrosion resistance and reduced glare, while the flat grind enhances cutting efficiency across a range of tasks.

CE Canvas Micarta scales—available in black or green—provide a secure, confident grip in all conditions. Designed by Iovito, the Machai is paired with a rugged injection‑molded sheath (noted on the Damysus but not specified here) and delivers the durability, balance, and authority expected from a purpose‑built combat and utility blade.
